Random Compliments From Strangers

[Saeria]

I had an interesting day that was highlighted by a certain encounter i had at a fast food restaurant today. I'm sitting in one of those annoying tall barstool seats (my daughter insists on sitting in them even though they're quite hell on someone as short i am) when a man stops and asks me just out of the blue what size shoe i wore. My first thought was that perhaps he was a salesman of some sort but he proceeded by telling me that seeing just the tips of my toes past the cuff of my jeans was just about the cutest thing he'd seen in a long time. Now admittedly i'm really quite the attention 'ho so instead of being creeped out i was quite flattered. So now i'm embroiled in a discussion about my feet and he had questions, lots of questions, like why i chose green nail polish, did i always wear flipflops. I really didn't feel comfortable talking too long seeing as how my daughter was rather contentedly staring at her kids meal toy while eating her fries so i had to cut the poor guy short but as i hopped off the annoying stool and walked around to gather our mess he caught sound of the jingling anklet (or so i assume, unless it was the absurd way i had to jump) and i swear that man looked like he was about to die with laughter. Tickling never arose in the discussion but all the same i have a feeling i had an encounter with a foot fetishist (sp?)
I've never had an experience like this so i wonder does this sort of thing happen often, men randomly complimenting women on their feet?

Hmm. Its quite a situation. Although I have a foot fetish, i doubt that I'd ever ask a stranger, ask anyone for that matter such questions, although chances are that I'd have a quick glance in that general direction every now and then. I suppose its the same for the majority, look but don't touch - and don't ask questions. But then of course there are always a fair few who have the guts to take it a step further 🙂

 

[milagros317]

I agree, he was clearly a man with a strong interest in women's feet who isn't shy about it. 😀

 

[cloudgazer2k]

for me to compliment a woman on her feet, there'd have to be an extraordinarily good reason for it, i.e.: a pair of sandals i've never seen before, a huge collection of anklets on one ankle, tattoo, etc. otherwise, i save those comments for women i know that have already been let in on the fact. the gentleman you spoke of was rather bold...i applaud him.

 

[Saeria]

Bold indeed, it seems. I've been told I strike people as open and non-threatening so maybe that left me open for it.

You know what's funny? Guys never comment on my feet unless I'm in the presence of someone's who's "one of us," 😉 They just stare at them. I wear nothing but fire engine red toenail polish and a lot of foot jewelry. (4 gold permanent rings on right foot alone, and one on the left.)

Girls in public, however, comment on them all the time~"I LOVE your toe rings!" "Great shoes!" and my personal fave for humor value alone: "Oh, look how cute your little feet are~do you have to shop in the KIDS section for shoes???"
Well, yes, yes I do. The first thing I do when I walk into a department store is approach the salesperson and say, "Can you please point me to the Candies for Kids section??"
XOXO

I think its kind of creepy to comment on a strangers feet.

 

[steph]

Which maybe why they don't. And I'm grateful for it frankly.

I think some people are "creep"ed out no matter what approach is taken. I complimented two ladies today at Cherry Hill Mall, & I got icy looks.

I've heard approximately two similar stories. I can only assume that these are all the result of people who have an interest in feet, and after thinking extensively about their possible options at attaining some gratification, decide to employ the method of speaking directly to strangers in a way that can't necessarily be detected. It does seem somewhat creepy to me, but I've never heard of anyone like this actually doing any harm to anyone.

I'm really not certain whether they know they seem so obvious. It's sort of confusing. What would someone who does this be hoping for? Is there some circumstance under which they'd walk away from the conversation thinking "score!"?

I suppose there's a small chance that they'd open conversation with someone who understood exactly what they were going for, and by coincidence, was waiting for that type of person. It's probably a far less likely situation than I could conceive occurring in reality.

Without all the types of people in the world, our lives would all be more mundane, regardless, right?

"Oh, look how cute your little feet are~do you have to shop in the KIDS section for shoes???"
Well, yes, yes I do.

Lol, that's just about the most darling thing I've ever heard. 😀

I remember one time I complimented a girl on her lovely blouse and got an Evil Look Of Doom. How dare I, a not-male, notice her clothesOMG!! Whatever. I usually find that women *love* to be complimented by other women; I know I do.

 

[steph]

I know, huh! Six and 1/2 is little but it doesn't make me a freak, right? (Let's NOT go into the other things that might though, ok? ) 😉

And that's awful, what a bitch. Hopefully she was just having a bad day. I'm with your thinking totally.
XOXO

Lord i should hope not! Then again, try finding a pair of 5 1/2 wides that don't look like they belong on a ten year old...

 

[Headsnap]

This man is clearly not a foot fetishist. His MO is totally different. Evidence gathered from observing these here forums leads me to believe that if he was a genuine foot fetishist you wouldn't have noticed him, he'd have just sat in the corner salivating like a lobotomised mongrel until you left, then gone home and manipulated himself before coming to the TMF to post about his experience and bemoan the fact that foot fetishists are hated by the entire world ^_^

Seems to me like your gentleman complementer was a 'nilla bloke who was flirting, but got stuck in a loop with his opening comment and then couldn't get off the subject of your feet 😀

You need to put some clothes on!!!!! That's why they don't stare at your feet...

 

[DEEPSHOTONE]

all the time....

I give complements often but never in a "fast food" setting. Most of the time its has been in a bar or club scene where the atmoshpere is a lot more relaxed; keep in mind alcohol is involved and women seem to be much more open to conversations of this nature. I live in Vegas so I see beautiful feet all the time. My most recent encounter was this past Saturday at a bar in the MGM Grand. While sitting with some friends form Chicago, this woman was dancing barefoot in front of her friends. She then sat down and kicked her feet up on the atomin. I waited for about 3 min then I went to the bar. As I passed her I reached down and tickled her feet. She was kinda shocked that I did this but I just smiled and said " I noticed you dancing, very nice". She smiled back from ear to ear. I continued to the bar and stoped to talk to her on the way back. She was from Phoenix, married unfortunally, but hella cool. We chatted for about 20 mins. Before I ended the conversation I thanked her for her time and told her without hesitation that her most beautiful asset was her feet. She couldn't stop smiling... So to answer your question; guys do this all the time. Well at least I do...

I can't imagine starting a whole conversation about this with a complete stranger. I might make a remark like, "wow, that's some tattoo. That must've hurt like a son of a bitch!" Nine times outta ten, a good ice breaker.

This guy would've made me nervous, though.

 

[steph]

You never let me have ANY fun....
XOXO

[kingp]

Hey there Beautiful Steph.....

6 and a 1/2 is, as Goldilocks says, Juuuuuuustttt riiiight.......Perfecto, my dear, perfecto.

Now bring them to me.....I so want em...LOL

Take good care

 

[Speedbump]

I would think that someone talking about your feet out of nowhere would be a good hint to leave. Continuing to talk to him about it I wouldn't think to be the smartest move, but hey, whatever works for ya.

I feel like a broken record in here...I almost dont know why Im posting this...

It is all in the presentation. I have complimented a woman about her feet (gasp) at work, (gasp) in a restaurant, (shock) in a bar...and you know what most responses are.

Thank you. And sometimes it has led to some pretty enjoyable nights.

See...and this is crazy...Im a man, not a blithering idiot. So I have this inane ability to comment on things like this without looking like a total ass. It really isnt hard. I have no "MO," dont drool on myself, and I dont jerk my cock at home after Im done. And I represent arguably one the stronger foot fetishists here. If a woman has nice feet, and I like them and I feel moved to say it, then I do. On the extremely rare occasion I have gotten a bad response, I apologize and move on with my life. The conversation typically is as creepy as the person starting it, in my opinion. And you know what...if I had a tickle fetish, and a girl asked me what I would like to do kinky in the bedroom, I would fucking tell her tickle her. Period. And if she thought it was creepy and told me should couldnt deal with it, then I would move on with my life.

This prevailing attitude that foot fetishists are so much sicker than other fetishists is asinine to the 3rd power. And the fact that this attitude is coming from other fetishists is even more remarkable.

It isnt the fetish that makes the situation sick...its the person with the fetish. So if Jerk A and Dickface B cant engage in a 15 second dialogue with a woman or man and tell them they find a body part attractive, dont fucking tell me it cant or shouldn't be done because I have been doing it for longer than some of the members here have been born.

Very well said. The more comfortable one can be with his or her specific interest, the more that comfort will be evident to others, and the less "creepy" one appears.

WOW, This could not be put in any better, more clear and concise way. This man is a prophet. I think we all should commend you for this inspiration because, damnit, you're absolutely right!

According to what he says, it's just like asking for a date; if you get shot down or get other-than-a-desirable response, move on! Every stop with their hang-ups! I am sincerely going to try this(in the fetish realm, to find a playmate for my wife and me)

That very well may be part of it. I don't think I've ever commented or complimented a lady about her feet unless she initially smiled at me first. If I'm passing a lady in a grocery store and she has nice feet, and we happen to smile at each other when we pass, I occasionally will say, "hey, you have beautiful feet". The response has always been "thank you" and her smile usually widens.

But her smile at me has always preceded
the compliment by me.

I think I would feel a little awkward making more detailed inquiries about a womens feet, or any other feature, without knowing more about her......
